XRC Acceleration runs on the same hardware as the underlying SAN Extension on Fibre Channel over IP (FCIP), and it takes advantage of the IP Security (IPsec) encryption and data compression MDS switches provide. Many customers experience compression ratios of 4:1 or better, and a number report compression exceeding 5:1.

Simple and Economical

Because there is no separate hardware, there is no additional overhead for floor space, power, or cooling.

XRC Acceleration is simple to install and manage and requires no expensive support contracts or service calls to change configurations.
